The Buffalo Bills face a challenging Week 8 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, missing key players Terrel Bernard and Curtis Samuel. Bernard, the starting middle linebacker, is sidelined due to an ankle injury, adding to his previous absence from two games this season. He has made significant contributions when healthy, recording 32 tackles and one interception.

Curtis Samuel, a wide receiver, will also miss the game after suffering a pectoral injury. His absence opens the door for Jalen Virgil, who will make his debut with the Bills after being elevated from the practice squad. The inactives list also includes safety Mike Edwards and linebacker Edefuan Ulofoshio, among others, as the team adjusts for the upcoming game.
